Liwa Ahfad Saladin

Liwa Ahfad Saladin, also known as The Descendants of Saladin Brigade, is a Free Syrian Army rebel group (consisting mostly of Kurds) that was formed in 2016 during the Syrian Civil War. The group has around 600 fighters, with a third of the fighters being Arabs and Turkmen and the remaining two thirds being Kurds; one Alawite and one Christian fight for the group. Despite being Kurdish, the group was opposed to the Syrian Democratic Forces in addition to the Syrian Arab Army and Islamic State, claiming the PYD to be a proxy of the Syrian government; the group allied with Fatah Halab, the Free Syrian Army, and Mare' Operations Room.
